Murai Family Sugidama 720ml

Classic Imported Junmai Ginjo

A sugidama is a large cedar ball to hang from a brewery to signal the start of the brewing season. Momokawa Sake Brewery (Murai Family) in the Aomori Prefecture recently made what they modestly call a “big” sugidama. It’s 2.2 meters in circumference, weighs about 500 kg, and took a team of five workers a week to make.
